Green Economy and Trade- trends, challenges and opportunities

International Trade is seen as an engine for development and sustained economic growth, and green economy is identified as « an important tool for achieving sustainable development » . The report we want to suggest focuses on six economic sectors- agriculture, fisheries, forests, manifacturing, renewable energy and tourism– all of which are particularly promising in a transition to a green economy. By assessing the trends, opportunities and challenges for more sustainable trade practices, the report aims to stimulate governments to harness and seek further opportunities in these and other sectors.
